Monday we were all set to go to the water park and of course the damn air conditioner stopped working again and this time nothing Paul did to it would help. He got up on top the roof and took the air conditioners apart and found that the bigger one was leaking into the duct work because there was saw dust caking up the drain holes. The water was dripping on the component that communicated to the thermostat and the wires were corroded. So while Paul attempted to once again fix the air conditioning I took the truck to the pool so the kids could go swimming. Once he found the problem he came up and took the truck to home depot and Walmart to find the parts to fix it. While we were at the pool it rained and I used a towel to keep dry lol. The sky started to get really dark so we got out of the pool and the kids played on the playground for like 10 minutes when it started to drizzle I hobbled over to the pavilion and it poured down rain for a good 20 min so we were stuck there until it stopped. After that I hobbled over to the general store to sit for a little bit and just as we got there Paul called and met us there and bought the kids an ice cream. While he was at Walmart he got the kids a nerf gun because he said he felt bad about them not going to the water park and promised they would go tomorrow. We got back to the camper and Paul started on the camper again and finally got it to work after he changed out some part. he left all the windows open during the storm so I had a little bit of water to clean up but it wasn't to bad. The kids now apparently had free range of the campground which I don't really like but Paul insist they're fine.
Tuesday Paul took the kids to the water park at frontier town while I stayed at the camper. I'm getting around a lot better now and have been putting weight on my ankle but it still hurts so I was a little apprehensive when he said they were going to the boardwalk afterwards and were going to come pick me up. I made dinner while they were at the water park and on their way home Paul picked up my prescription and an ankle support from the Rite Aid. After dinner we drove the 20 minutes to the boardwalk I told myself slow and steady and managed to walk I'd say about 10 blocks up we stopped and watched fire works on the beach, the kids got ice cream and Paul got Thrashers french fries and he bought the kids and himself matching sunglasses. I walked ahead of them because it was going to take me forever to get back to the truck and by the end all I wanted was an ice pack and some ibuprofen and promised myself no more boardwalk for a little while.
Wednesday we all hung out at the campground for a little bit and I did a load of laundry. Paul had a couple of beers and the kids went to the pond and caught a baby turtle that they set free and some minnows. After that Paul took them to the boardwalk to the arcade and had dinner while I stayed back and played with the bunny and watch Harry Potter. Later that night we had an out door movie on the blow up screen and the neighbors kid came over to watch and she provided us with popcorn and fire wood and even fed me dinner, potatoes chicken and corn on the cob. We watched Star Wars The Force Awakens with the neighbors little boy, who drove me nuts, and after it was over the kids got baths and Paul and I sat by the fire.
Thursday the kids were driving us crazy at this point, if they weren't fighting the were complaining. I'd say most of the time they were off by themselves but whenever we'd suggest something to do one would say no the other would say yes and the when we went someone would complain. We waiting till around 3 to take the kids to go to the rides at the boardwalk. We bought them both bracelet to have unlimited ride for about 3 hours. This was my first time venturing out of the camper since we arrived at Fort Whaley. The ride bracelets cost 42 dollars I think and all they wanted to do was get on the same rides over and over again, which doesn't really bother me to much but it drove Paul crazy. At one point we split up and I took Knezie and he took JP. No one wanted to get on the roller coaster and JP didn't want to get on a couple that Kenzie did at one point JP wanted to get on the zipper but you have to go on with two people and Kenzie didn't want anything to do with it even though she's been on it like 4 times. So JP sat for about 30 minutes waiting for a partner and I finally had to go up to a boy and ask his parents if he could get on with JP and that we would pay for his tickets. JP finally got someone to go on with him and he looked really scared but ended up really liking it. Because Mckenzie wouldn't help her brother out and go on the ride with him she was punished and couldn't get on anymore rides and after waiting to get on the zipper the bracelet time was up so of course Kenzie was upset. Then we had to decide on what to do next and a plan for dinner, as usual Kenzie wanted to go out to eat and JP wanted to go to the pool so since we couldn't agree and after all the fighting and complaining I was fed up and ready to go back to the camper. When we got back to the camper I made dinner and Paul was going to take the kids to the pool but they said it was to cold and decided to play at the pond where Mckenzie fell in the mud and earlier in the week JP fell in with his shoes on so they were no longer allowed to go there after that. More complaining followed after that and Paul and I were ready to pack up and go home a day early.
Friday we woke up and tried to start the day with a new since of vigor. Paul decided he wasn't telling anyone where we were going or what we were doing. Around noon we went up to 60 some street and played old pro golf and they had a special for 20 dollars a person you could play at any old pro and got unlimited games so we decided to make a day of it. We played 5 games of all went out to lunch when to the boardwalk went to the arcade and didn't get home that night till around 11 o'clock it was a good day.
